Dentures are a very popular way of replacing missing teeth, or teeth that are in need of extraction.
If you’ve lost all your teeth in your upper or lower jaw (or both), full dentures are a reliable solution.
These are removable appliances that replace your teeth and gums.
If you still have some natural teeth, a partial denture may be right for you. This type of denture fills in the gaps where teeth are missing and helps maintain your bite and facial structure.
These partial dentures are made with a lightweight, strong metal framework that supports the replacement teeth.
These are a popular choice for patients looking for durability and a more precise fit.
Valplast dentures are made from a flexible, nylon-based material that gently hugs your gums.
These are especially useful if you’re sensitive to metal or want a more discreet solution.
Why Titanium?
Titanium is a superior dental material used in medical-grade prosthetics and dental implants. It is completely biocompatible, hypoallergenic, and exceptionally strong despite being significantly lighter than cobalt-chrome. This makes it ideal for patients who want the most comfortable and long-lasting option available.
Benefits of Titanium Dentures
Ultra-lightweight and comfortable
Titanium frameworks are up to 40% lighter than cobalt-chrome equivalents.
This makes them more comfortable for daily wear and easier to adapt to, especially for patients who struggle with the heaviness of traditional metal dentures.
Hypoallergenic & biocompatible
Titanium is fully biocompatible, meaning the body accepts it extremely well.
It is also hypoallergenic, making it the best choice for patients with sensitivities or allergies to nickel or other metals often found in cobalt-chrome alloys.
Strong and flexible
Despite being lightweight, titanium offers exceptional strength and natural flexibility.
This allows for a more refined, precise fit with a frame that is both durable and gentle on the supporting teeth and soft tissues.
Corrosion-resistant & long-lasting
Titanium does not corrode or deteriorate in the oral environment.This ensures stability and reliability for many years.
Minimal bulk – thinner, more discreet design
Titanium allows the denture to be made thinner, with a more streamlined design.
Patients often notice that it feels less bulky and more natural in the mouth.
Titanium dentures with a golden finish
Our premium titanium partial dentures are available with a luxurious golden finish- a beautiful alternative to the traditional silver tone. The warm gold colouring gives the framework and clasps a softer, more natural look that blends seamlessly with your smile.
Emilia offers titanium frameworks made in a Scandinavian design, known for its clean, minimal and functional style. These frameworks use slimmer, more open shapes that harmoniously follow the natural contours of the mouth without unnecessary bulk.
A key benefit of this design is better oral hygiene during everyday wear. The open, refined structure helps reduce areas where food can become trapped behind the frame, keeping the mouth fresher and making daily cleaning easier once the denture is removed.
Scandinavian design is considered an advanced and modern approach because it combines precision, lightness and strong support in a simple, ergonomic form. The result is a framework that feels natural, is easy to live with, and offers excellent stability without heaviness.
We offer a variety of add-on features to enhance the fit, function, and appearance of your dentures, allowing you to tailor your prosthesis to your exact preferences. These include tooth coloured clasps, clear claps and gum coloured claps.
For patients who want their dentures to look as natural as possible, staining and characterisation is a great option. This process involves adding natural staining to the teeth to mimic the slight discoloration that occurs in natural teeth over time.
For patients with high smile lines, we offer characterisation of the denture “gums” to blend in with your natural gums tone.
***Upgrades on the selection of denture teeth is possible.
At our practice, we don’t simply offer “ranges” of dentures like many other dental clinics. Instead, we provide premium-quality dentures tailored specifically to your needs. Each denture is carefully crafted by a skilled Clinical Dental Technician (CDT), who oversees both the clinical and technical aspects of the entire process. This ensures a precise, high-quality result every time, as the CDT brings expertise and attention to detail that is crucial for achieving the best fit, function, and aesthetics.
We’ve carefully selected multi-layered teeth—known for their superior natural appearance and durability—to complement an Ivobase base material. This combination offers a denture that not only looks and feels natural but also provides long-term comfort and strength. The choice of these high-quality materials ensures that your denture will function well, retain its aesthetic appeal, and offer durability.
One of the key reasons our dentures stand out is the use of Ivobase, a high-quality material used in both our acrylic and chrome dentures. Ivobase sets a new standard in denture technology with its superior qualities, and here’s why it’s the foundation of our denture offerings
Ivobase is designed to be highly bio-compatible, which means it’s gentle on your gums and oral tissues. This significantly reduces the risk of irritation, allergic reactions, or discomfort often associated with lower-quality materials. Ivobase helps ensure your dentures feel comfortable from day one and remain gentle to your soft tissues over time.
Unlike traditional acrylic materials, Ivobase contains reduced levels of harmful chemical monomers, making it a safer option for long-term wear. This reduction in potentially irritating chemicals means your dentures are less likely to cause sensitivity or discomfort, providing a more pleasant experience for those with sensitive mouths.
One of the standout features of Ivobase is its superior fit. The material’s stability and minimal shrinkage mean that your dentures will maintain their precision over time. This results in a more comfortable fit with fewer adjustments needed.
Ivobase not only functions well—it looks great too. It offers excellent color stability, meaning your dentures will resist fading and staining, maintaining a fresh, lifelike appearance longer than standard materials. With Ivobase, you get a natural look that stays vibrant over time.
Ivobase is exceptionally durable. Whether you’re wearing acrylic or chrome dentures, Ivobase ensures that your dentures can withstand the everyday pressures of chewing and biting without compromising on strength or function. This makes Ivobase an ideal material for both partial and full dentures that need to endure long-term use.
Because Ivobase has a smooth surface, it resists plaque and odor build-up. This helps your dentures stay cleaner and more hygienic over time, requiring less maintenance and reducing the risk of unpleasant odors—an issue often faced with lower-quality materials.
Ivobase is engineered to deliver precision fitting for a secure and comfortable feel. The material’s accuracy means your denture will fit snugly, reducing the chance of slippage or discomfort while eating or speaking.
Another benefit of Ivobase is its low thermal conductivity, which means it is less sensitive to temperature changes. Whether you’re enjoying hot coffee or cold drinks, your dentures made with Ivobase will provide you with greater comfort as they are less likely to cause discomfort from extreme temperatures.
Despite its remarkable strength, Ivobase is lightweight, making it easy to wear for long periods without feeling weighed down. This balance of strength and lightness ensures your dentures won’t feel bulky, providing you with a more comfortable, natural experience.
For chrome dentures, Ivobase contributes to better retention and stability. This is especially true for partial dentures where Ivobase enhances the fit, reducing the need for bulky clasps or adhesives. You’ll enjoy a more discreet and secure fit, giving you the confidence to wear your dentures without concern.
By using Ivobase as the base material for all of our acrylic and chrome dentures, we’re ensuring that your dentures not only look great but also feel great and perform exceptionally well over time. Ivobase’s bio-compatibility, durability, and improved fit are all designed to make your denture experience as comfortable and natural as possible.
